Please join us July 1 at 6:30 p.m. at Shaffer Park in Orange near the covered picnic area. We are going to discuss immediate next steps to thwart the plan to build 380+ apartments at Meats and Canal. We are also going to discuss a specific action plan for the OUSD Meeting on July 25.

If you are in town, we need you there. It bears repeating: this is a meeting you are not going to want to miss. Please also encourage your neighbors to join us for this very important meeting.

Please bring:

a chair,

a stamped, blank legal envelope with your return address on it

We could really use a bullhorn, too, if anyone has one.

If you are able, please distribute our meeting announcementthis weekend to your neighbors, friends -- anyone who might be affected by this terrible plan.

For anyone who has yet to buy a yard sign, we will have some available. They are $5 each.

Shaffer Park is located at 1930 N. Shaffer St. in Orange, just north of Taft and south of Meats, between Orange-Olive Road and Shaffer Street.

Please make a note of the new meeting venue--we are not meeting at Lincoln Avenue Church this time.
